More on Abraham

This Sunday we will gather around the story, GOD BUILDS A NATION. It is the story of God's call and promise to Abraham. God promises three very specific things to Abraham; I will give you a PLACE (land), I will give you a PEOPLE (more descendants than the stars of the heavens), and I will give you a PURPOSE (you will be a blessing to the nations). In one sense of the word these are three timeless and true promises to every follower of the Lord God! At the same time they are unique and particular to Abraham as the one through whom God begins to save, redeem, restore and reconcile the world.
